For that reason, the drupal way would be to try to use CCK with business objects and if you use custom forms for some reason, persist that data to a node, as described in another answer.

These are the services offered by the Drupal Framework.

One question more now I know I have to manage myself form post data. If I persist the data on a custom table inside my database and later I want to do something with that data...what should I do? For example, once the data is inside a table on a database I would like to create a 'view' as a list from it. As I read, I can't use views module because that data is not a node. How can I do "custom" queries and then display it??

Thanks a lot

If you are creating your own forms for data input, then, yes, you are responsible for managing it.

-------------- Original message from Salvador Benimeli: --------------

Where go the data once the form has been submitted?? The data submitted on a form is stored as a node or other kind of content or have I to create a table on the database and storing post values inside that table???
